Network features 1
Your Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired or IEEE 802.11b/g wireless Ethernet network
using the internal network print server. The print server supports various functions and methods of connection
depending on the operating system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. The following chart
shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.
Note
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.

Using the control panel 2
You can configure your machine for a network using the control panel Network menu. (See Control panel
setup on page 31.)
Using the BRAdmin Light utility 2
The BRAdmin Light utility is designed for initial setup of Brother network connected devices. It also can
search for Brother products in a TCP/IP environment, view the status and configure basic network settings,
such as IP address.
Installing BRAdmin Light 2
Windows
®
a Please make sure that your machine is ON.
b Turn on your computer. Close any applications running before configuration.
c Put the supplied CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The opening screen will appear automatically. If
the model name screen appears, choose your machine. If the language screen appears, choose your
language.
d The CD-ROM main menu will appear. Click Install Other Drivers or Utilities.
e Click BRAdmin Light and follow the on-screen instructions.
Macintosh
The BRAdmin Light software will be installed automatically when you install the printer driver. If you have
already installed the printer driver, you do not have to install BRAdmin Light again.

Setting the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway using BRAdmin Light 2
Note
You can download Brother's latest BRAdmin Light utility from http://solutions.brother.com/.
If you require more advanced machine management, use the latest version of BRAdmin Professional 3
utility that is available as a download from http://solutions.brother.com/
. This utility is only available for
Windows
®
users.
If you are using a firewall function of anti-spyware or antivirus applications, temporarily disable them. Once
you are sure that you can print, re-enable the application.
Node name: The Node name appears in the current BRAdmin Light window. The default node name of
the print server in the machine is “BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wired network or “BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a
wireless network. (“xxxxxxxxxxxx” is your machine’s MAC Address / Ethernet Address.)
The default password for Brother print servers is “access”.

You can find the Node Name and MAC Address (Ethernet Address) by printing the Network Configuration
List. (See Printing the Network Configuration List on page 35 for information on how to print the Network
Configuration List on your print server.) You can also find the MAC Address from the control panel. (See
Chapter 5: Control panel setup.)

Other Management Utilities 2
Your Brother machine has the following management utilities other than the BRAdmin Light utility. You can
change your network settings using these utilities.
Web Based Management (web browser) 2
A standard web browser can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol). (See How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web
browser) on page 40.)
BRAdmin Professional 3 utility (Windows
®
) 2
BRAdmin Professional 3 is a utility for more advanced management of network connected Brother devices.
This utility can search for Brother products on your network and view the device status from an easy to read
Explorer style window that changes color identifying the status of each device. You can configure network
and device settings along with the ability to update device firmware from a Windows
®
computer on your LAN.
BRAdmin Professional 3 can also log activity of Brother devices on your network and export the log data in
an HTML, CSV, TXT or SQL format.
For users who want to monitor locally connected machines, install the Print Auditor Client software on the
client PC. This utility allows you to monitor machines that are connected to a client PC via the USB or parallel
interface from BRAdmin Professional 3.
For more information and to download the software, visit us at http://solutions.brother.com/
.
Note
Please use the latest version of the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility that is available as a download from
http://solutions.brother.com/
. This utility is only available for Windows
®
users.
If you are using a firewall function of anti-spyware or antivirus applications, temporarily disable them. Once
you are sure that you can print, configure the software settings following the instructions.
Node name: The Node name for each Brother device on the network appears in BRAdmin Professional 3.
The default Node name is “BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wired network or “BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wireless
network. (xxxxxxxxxxxx” is your machine’s MAC Address / Ethernet Address.)

Web BRAdmin (Windows
®
) 2
Web BRAdmin is a utility for managing network connected Brother devices. This utility can search for Brother
products on your network, view the status and configure the network settings.
Unlike BRAdmin Professional 3, which is designed for Windows
®
only, Web BRAdmin is a server based utility
that can be accessed from any client PC with a web browser that supports JRE (Java Runtime Environment).
By installing the Web BRAdmin server utility on a computer running IIS
1
, administrators can connect to the
Web BRAdmin server using a web browser, which then communicates with the device itself.

Internet Information Server 4.0 or Internet Information Services 5.0/5.1/6.0/7.0
BRPrint Auditor (Windows
®
) 2
The BRPrint Auditor software brings the monitoring power of Brother network management tools to locally
connected machines. This utility allows a client computer to collect usage and status information from a
Brother machine connected via the parallel or USB interface. The BRPrint Auditor can then pass this
information to another computer on the network running BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web BRAdmin 1.45 or
greater. This allows the administrator to check items such as page counts, toner and drum status and the
firmware version. In addition to reporting to Brother network management applications this utility can E-mail
the usage and status information directly to a predefined E-mail address in a CSV or XML file format (SMTP
Mail support required). The BRPrint Auditor utility also supports E-mail notification for reporting warning and
error conditions.

Overview 3
To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend you to follow the steps in the Quick Setup
Guide using WPS or AOSSfrom the control panel menu. By using this method, you can easily connect your
machine to your wireless network.
Please read this chapter for additional methods on how to configure the wireless network settings. For
information on TCP/IP settings, see How to change your machine’s network settings (IP address, Subnet
mask and Gateway) on page 3.
Note
To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close
to the WLAN access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between
the two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of
your documents.
Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large
graphics, you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer, or USB for the
fastest throughput speed.
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.
Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your Network name: (SSID, ESSID) and
Network Key. If you are using an enterprise wireless network you also need to know the User ID and
Password.
